Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 34: Test of Heart.

Lumine tried to rush in but was blocked by the barrier. "Damn it! Why can't I break in?" She tried using her most powerful skills, but it didn't even leave a scratch.

She felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment. Her son was in danger and she can't help him. Her panicked mind started thinking of different ways to save him.

Alicia also became worried looking at the Giant Skeleton monster. 'This is bad. Luis is in danger.'

"Calm down." While they were still worried, a deep, calm voice echoed, making their hearts tremble.

Luis waved his hand and said, "Trust me. Everything's fine."

He gave a big smirk and declared, "Just sit tight and watch my handsome moves as I crush this thing."

His confident words calmed them down. But Luis could still see the worried expression on their faces.

With a slight grin, he shifted his focus to the Giant Skeleton Monster in front of him.

'Sure enough, he came.' Luis thought inwardly.

*Graaaoow*

The monster roared, sending small shockwaves in the air. Luis' hair fluttered because of the wind from shockwaves. Suddenly it stood tall and the green flames burning in his hollow eyes gazed deeply at Luis.

Any normal person in Luis' position would have been terrified, looking at the Giant Skeleton in front of him.

It emitted some kind of pressure, but Luis stood there unmoved. He only had an expectant look on his face.

Then suddenly a hoarse voice echoed inside the arena, startling Lumine and Alicia but making Luis excited.

{Are you the one who came to challenge the Legacy trial?}

"Yes," Luis answered with a big smirk on his face.

'Sure enough, it's the same.' Luis smiled, thinking of the similarities to the game.

{In that case [Challenger], I shall give you three tests. Once you pass them, you will receive the piece of legacy. Are you ready?} The voice asked.

"Yes, I am ready," Luis answered.

Lumine and Alicia perked their ears hearing the mysterious voice which came out of nowhere. But what surprised them even more was that after roaring hard, the Giant Skeleton just stood still without attacking Luis.

'This legacy is not simple.' Lumine thought grimly. Even with all her scouting skills, she couldn't find the source of this voice.

Alicia just gulped nervously on behalf of Luis and looked over worriedly.

While they were still thinking, the mysterious voice sounded again.

{The first test shall be the test of your [Heart].}

Luis nodded his head, thinking, 'This was the test where the protagonist's sad past was revealed.'

{In this test, you will despair and wish you were dead. Let's see if you can break it.} The mysterious voice said. The tone sounded a little excited.

Luis passively looked around and a moment later his sharp eyes became blurred. They seemed a little unfocused and the next moment the voice said, {The test has begun.}

***

Luis opened his eyes and found himself falling from the sky. Even when he found the ground approaching closer, there was no panicked expression on his face.

He just thought, 'This illusion is so fake.'

There was no wind pressure when he was falling from the sky. He calmly waited and in a few seconds, he crashed to the ground.

Extreme pain assaulted his body. 'At least the pain is real. But it's not much.' ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

His body recovered and the next moment he found himself above a volcano and his body fell on the lava. There was no change in his expression.

This continued several times and in a variety of ways. Car accident, getting stabbed, cut in pieces.

'Now, what will it be next? Drowning in the Sea? Plane crash? Poison?' Luis opened his eyes and found himself nowhere. It was dark everywhere. The only thing he could see was his body.

'Is this space? No, I have no trouble breathing and there's no planet or stars or anything. It's just like a... void.'

Luis just floated there, and even if he tried moving his body, there was no point. He didn't feel like he was going anywhere.

'Was this meant to make me despair?' Luis thought back to how it went inside the game.

In the game, when the players took this test, the past of the second protagonist was revealed, and there were no experiences like the ones Luis had.

'Is this the difference between the real life and the game?' Luis wasn't much surprised as he had already expected this. He was only counting on the game's knowledge to work in the proper direction by obtaining the maximum benefits for himself.

The game's knowledge was nothing but a tool to help him achieve his goal of becoming the strongest sooner. It was never a guide that he was going to follow blindly. Cause he knew this world was similar but still a real one. The characters and NPCs are all real people and they are not programmed to act the same as in the game.

'Anyway, how long am I supposed to stay here?'

'Is it to make me feel lonely or to scare me in this eternal darkness?' Luis couldn't feel anything like that. Instead, he had a familiar feeling, as if this was something he had experienced before for a very long time.

'What is this weird feeling?'

Luis found many negative emotions emerging inside him. Which told him that he will lose everything, his family, his friends, money, status, love, and even his dreams.

'Is this to make me despair?' Although those emotions made him sad, that was it. They could never break him.

'I've already experienced death twice and just a week of living this new life can't make me feel despair about losing it.'

Shaking his head, Luis thought, 'This illusion was insignificant. There were a lot of loopholes. It couldn't even attack my mentality. I could create a far better illusion in the future.'

'I think the Ghost King wasn't much proficient in making illusions.' Luis came to this conclusion after his experience.

*Crack*

Luis saw a white crack open in the space and the next moment, like a mirror was broken, the illusion shattered in pieces.

Opening his eyes, he found himself back in the arena.

{Congratulations! You have passed the first test [Challenger].} The Voice said.
